[PD-announce] interactive musical robot controlled with pd

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I am just finished programming Yoyo, one of the many machines of 
http://AmorphicRobotWorks.org/ .  Yoyo listens to rhythms created by 
gallery goers and improvises upon them using his three fingers on a 
drum, a bass kick, and a bow on a long berimbau-like string.  Yoyo is 
at the Art Interactive gallery in Cambridge, Massachussets until 
October 6th, as part of the "Engaging Characters" show:

Yoyo is controlled by a Pd patch running on a Debian GNU/Linux PC.  
MIDI signals are sent to one of Eric Singer's MIDI relay boards, which 
control a set of Opto-22 relays, which control motors and pneumatic 
pistons.  All of the software will be released under the GNU GPL.  An 
ogg stream is planned.
